- Today you join me on a tour of a three bedroom house that I have bought. It has now been completed and is ready to be rented.
Thank you for watching. I would greatly appreciate a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and don't forget to subscribe for plenty more videos to come.

Matt is just incredibly watchable, such an easy style of delivery that makes him really likeable.
Thanks! I appreciate it
Matt would make a fine politician
Such a shame about the blue tendencies 😉
Matt would make a fine Bond.
Matts a good lad. He’s perfected his auto video presenting, now mastering his property development presenting too. Onwards and upwards for Matt. 👏👌😉tv presenting beckons …
Terrific result by all concerned and great to see a previously disappointed home searcher being generously accommodated.
Great job Matt. Well done to your Dad & team for their work.
Perfectionism aside, at least you care about the quality and standards of your rental properties, unlike some other landlords. Best of luck with it.
Thanks 👍
Ditto - I don't think rental properties (speaking as someone renting right now) have to be splendidly perfect, they just need the most important bits and bobs connected up and working, with good quality finishes and materials for the walls and seams. Matt at least cares about the finish, materials used and quality. When it comes to things like curtains, garden furniture and deco, definitely leave it to the tenants - it's a great way to give them the opportunity to customise their space. Plus, window furnishings are the easiest to "fix" or install to your heart's content (I hate blinds - curtains all the way!)
I noticed the gaps between the stair spindles look pretty wide. If young children are going to be living there it might be worth just checking the safety aspect.
There is guidance on this in the building regulations
The finishes look good enough for a rental property. The only thing I might have done is sent all the kitchen doors/drawer fronts for re-finishing/spray painting in a brighter colour.
Great to hear about the other properties too. Your portfolio is growing :)
Looks great Matt. Don't put yourself down by saying: not satisfied with the finish.
Looks great and I'm sure any family moving in will appreciate the work that went into it. 👍
Thanks!
Couldn't agree with you more.
Well said.
It's more than good enough.
Perfection has no place in rentals. Tenants don't appreciate it or respect it.
It doesn't belong to them so why should they respect it???
Matt is such a legend of a man that even though I normally stick with his car videos even this is somehow great to watch. Well done on the renovation-all the hard work will be worth it!
I appreciate that!
It's better than 90% of what other landlords would do...
The vertical were an excellent choice as they don't restrict the available wall space. The addition of a range hood ducted outside is a must for ventilation and odor control. Good solid house and the back yard without neighbors over the back is a bonus.
The meter cupboard top would be a good place for keys, phones and chargers if you're permitted to have a power outlet there, reducing the encroachment onto the kitchen counters. Colour scheme is clean and sharp, hope the tenants respect the work you've put in to make this a home.
Looks good 👍....your stair case spindles won't meet building regs though as they are spaced too big !
I thought the same, too far apart and a danger for young kids
Matt, congrats on getting this property upto spec, but big shout out to your dad and his team for giving you a very attractive proposition 😁👍🏼. Turning up in the BMW also gave the people living around a great sense of someone with a lot of dosh had specked it up 😁👍🏼
Thanks for showing us around.
The differences are alot i lilke your car by the way
I think it looks good for a rental. The family will love it. I hate the black tiles but it wouldn't stop me renting it. The garden is it's selling point for me, especially with those french doors open in the summer 🌞
Brilliant video again Matt,what a transformation,and didn't take long, will be a lovely home for someone.
Don't forget in your "yields" that you have agents fees to to come out to set up and renew contracts, looks fantastic for a rental so perfect as is.
Generally, (but not exclusively), council houses of that era were well built and they had the benefit of enforced minimum room size standards that would make a modern developer weep.
In most locations the £/msq (floor area) value of ex-council houses is significantly lower than any new development built on a "box formula" so I really think you have chosen very well. A decent location, good sized rooms and a useable outside space will never go out of fashion and allows a family to grow without trauma. I suspect your tenant turnover will be low further reducing "management" expenses and void periods. A real winner.
Hi matt. I'm a jojner and mainly do staircases. You might want to close the gaps between each spindle by adding more. The regulations is no more than 100mm gap between each spindle
Pretty sure that's only relevant if you change or replace the balusters. If it was compliant when the property was built, you don't need to subsequently upgrade to meet the latest standards. Otherwise all old properties would have to have eg. insulation and general construction that met current standards.
Yeah I was thinking the same. The gap there looks large enough for a small child to fall through! You wouldn't want that on your conscience Matt.
@@frfr335 correct to a certain degree but if you are renting the house out it's your duty of care to make sure it's safe for children
Absolutely, if it were mine and I was renting it out, I'd definitely infill the gaps. Why risk it for the sake of a few quid?!
@@frfr335 nope! Needs updated regardless.
Very presentable and rentable, your decision making on this one is spot on 👍🏻
Never seen a radiator that large - must generate a good level of heating. You have done a great job on the house. Your tenants will love it 🎉.
Vertical radiators are a great way to get more heat without sacrificing any more width on the wall than the original did. I put two in my old lounge and it was so warm compared to the original doubles.
@@stephenprice7502 They look fantastic too!
Thanks 👍
@@stephenprice7502 Matt should have done something more with the gloomy kitchen.
Perfection does not exist. Perfectionism is about aiming for it, not reaching it.
Hats off for the job (and the attitude), as always! 👍
Looks great Matt. Is it worth mentioning in future videos any efforts you're making towards achieving Epc rating C. I know that is a consideration for many landlords now and is prompting full refurb as opposed to a 'do up'. That way you can add insulation between walls etc. Keep them coming they are great?
Great transformation… and for the rental market it’s pretty much high end!
unfortunately lots of renters don’t tend to treat it like you would yourself in my experience so it doesn’t pay to go overboard… you’ve found a nice balance between making it appealing and therefore sought after but not going over board ripping it to bare bones. I loved the bricked up dining area.
You have enhanced a lot in the house to make it stand out. My only issue is that if another couple of hours had been spent on the new tiling and grouting both on the floor and walls it would make a huge difference for a marginal cost, but then not everyone has our eye for detail and may not care. Overall a great job worthy of the Goodwin stamp
Great looking home. The grey and white makes it look very modern and it does look very professional.
I'd love to get into property,, my family had quite a bad run of investments during recession so ill have to show them how to do it
This place is a palace compared to some of the rentals you see on the market! Looking forward in seeing the community centre 😀
I rented for 30 plus years and I would have been happy to move into this one, the rooms are a decent size.
The house wouldn't sell in that condition , that's why Matt's renting it out, the kitchen is a big disappointment.
@@gambrydew2059 it literally sold with the kitchen like that 😂
From Canada following your cost estimates was spot on. And your finishes were neutral to target most buyers/ renters. Great job.
Absolutely brilliant. Great balance of renovating, decorating, and just tidying up. Anything more would just be too much. 👍
Really like the approach you’re using Matt. You applied the same straightforward and honest approach from your auto business. Damn good 👍🏼
Thanks
Well done Matt, I disagree with you tbh I think the renovation you’ve done for only £5.5k is really good and refreshing. We’re just in the process of refreshing our home and it is not cheap! Great video!
Thanks!
would cost us five grand for the widows alone where I live on the south coast so fair play Matt. You do so well to keep your head in control re the spending, so easy to have that little extra work done...plastering, grouting etc . Nice clean job for a rental. Thanks for the honest and very watchable video
Congratulations, Matt. Fantastic job . Love the colour scheme. A very nice family home. I wish you continued success with your projects.
You deserve all the success. Keep it up mate
Matt you are doing yourself a disservice mate. Really decent job well done. That’s a good solid house (they built council homes well back then so good platform to work from) and your renovations make it look fresh and fairly modern and contemporary! Easily rent that out all day long for between 1000-1200 pcm. Keep up the good work pal!
Thanks!
the transformation looks top notch Matt! I specially like the master bedroom and the garden space outdoors in this property
Well thought through, made a big difference, well done. Nice family effort.
Yes, a great improvement, Matt... Your costings seem very modest and your 'team' of workers professional enough to fulfill your ambitions quite quickly. 👍
Well done love the way you'v done this house bless you x your so talented you need a nice holiday x
Looks lovely I hope the family get it and feel secure job well done .
My husband watches your car channel Matt. Really enjoying the house transformations, great that you're providing good quality rentals 😊
Thanks!
Lovely job Matt well done. Always like seeing what your driving as well. Onto the next one.
Thanks 👍
Great video as always Matt, I hope you get great tenants that will look after the property.
I hope so too!
Great work Matt. Just want to say that I do hope you’re having regular rest. Coupled with TH-cam, properties, your day job and more please make sure you take some time for yourself :)
Thanks! Will do! Not doing it yet but hope to do so soon
Dear Matt! Everything looks great, but please place one mixer tap in bathroom sink, when you have modern light, modern doors, modern Windows, but 2 taps it's like parking on horse outside.
It's really easy to change two taps for one mixer tap. Please please please be modern, be kind, place one mixer tap❤
Honestly looks great, improving a property like this minimally and on a small budget is just as valuable (if not more so) as a 'high quality' finish imo :) Awesome
great job Dad and friends!!! looks quite cool.
Thanks Matt for the update on the house.
Really like the doors upstairs the paintwork was done well.
I agree with you probably renting would be best. Really hope that family can move in, sure they'll be happy.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks 👍
The finish is absolutely fine, it's fresh and nicely coloured. I certainly wouldn't mind, you being my landlord matt! Keep them coming 👍
Great job!
looks great. ideal as a rental. Just check the fire alarm for rentals. Plus staircase handrail/spindle spacing.
and your mum cleaned the windows! how fortunate are you. great video. Thanks
Quality... well done.
As a Half Brit Yank, must comment on the smaller wardrobe in the second bedroom that was much like what we would call a closet...It did look quite N. American!!! Well done you on that tight budget!!!
Looks a good standard & improvements r 👍. Team done well...!!
Great job Mat. Finish looks really good, despite your reservations. Looking forward to the next one…👍🏻
Thanks 👍
A great result. New tenants should be happy with that. It's almost a novelty to see carpet in a place. Here in Prague, it's wooden floors or tiles (tiles usually in the hallway and bathrooms ). I wish you nice, long term tenants.
Thank you
Nice one mate, it looks really nice
I'm looking forward to seeing the community centre once it's done
I ♥️♥️♥️ it! Great job!
Another great video. Well done on accumulating another investment.
No looks great Matt, the next tenant will be delighted with it I’m sure 👌🏼
Hope so!
The kitchen and the grey doors spoil it, I didn't know you could paint a wardrobe door.
A nice transformation. Your dad and his team have done you proud there. Kitchen looks much better with the door to nowhere closed off. Dining room looks far more usable with the window in place of the old french doors. Overall, very smart.
Thank you so much 😊
The kitchens horrible, cupboards look dated and it's to dark, I wouldn't fancy cooking in it.
@Chris Fellows very funny!
@@gambrydew2059 OK Gordon Ramsay!!
@@gambrydew2059 it’s ‘too dark”
What a different the perfect amount of work for the property ready to rent lad👍
Well done Matt follow you on your car site but am following you now on the property one . Love the way you done them . Keep up the good work . Well done to your family as well
Thanks 👍
Fantastic Matt. It looks great, can't believe you think it's not finished to a high quality!
Thanks! Maybe I’m just too fussy
All I can say Wow lovely job!!!
Thanks for the update.
Great job, Matt. It looks a whole lot better. Good to see a more relaxed presenting style and very personable.
Thanks!
yo that was quickkk love to see it
Great transformation on a limited budget and just the ticket for a young family. I think I would have roller painted the kitchen cupboard doors grey though, to match the rest of the house.
lovely stuff
Standard of finish certainly good enough for Rental... more carried out than what a lot of Landlords would do... look forward to seeing the next project.
That looks very nice. I'm sure the tenants will be very happy with it!
Those wardrobes look great painted ❤ Julie
Thanks!
Good Job Matt
Great video and property Matt, absolutely nailing it!!!
Thanks 👍
Fair play nice house for the money ... both from an investment point of view and from a renters point of view ... 👍
Looks really good
Looks very good, great transformation for only 5.5k. I like the french doors!
Looks good - Thank you for vlogging the pre and post transformation 👍👍
No problem 👍
It looks great regardless. An improvement and looks quite ready for moving in.
It was all done on a shoestring budget. Matt didn't show his class here, it's only money at the end of the day.
The community centre is the one I'm waiting for.
Just took on a Victorian end terrace in Shropshire last week.
Been a couple of years since the last sale so I'm back in the game.
Bravo good job 🎉
Can you do a deeper dive into the finances of owning rental properties? Do you do it as a limited company or just on your own tax code? Cheers Matt youre one of the few honest sources on the internet!
Yeah sure. I’ll do that in the near future
Great to see the transformation, looks perfect. Still quite fabcy an i8.
Looks great👍👍
Family & Friends… Priceless!
Hello Again, Well 'Matt' your Ex-Council House (always well built) looks very, very good thanks to your Dad, Mom and family of friends, the doors make a big difference. Wish you well. Regards, RichardA.
Thanks!
Looks really nice Matt , a good makeover , looks a lot more modern ,clean and fresh 👍
Thanks 👍
Love your work 👍
Wow looks great!
Good to see the before with all the junk and then the whole transformation.
Then aaaaaaaaaaahhhh, those British Taps on the sink, never know why you don't join the rest of the world with one tap to control the flow of a desirable flow of water.
Cheers and best, like your clips here and your cars.
We did this to our last 2 properties (for us, not to rent), which were both well-built former council houses. Went back to the brick everywhere.
I agree with Scott Ferguson Matt It Looks great! Sometimes Less is More 👍👍
Many thanks for taking us along for the ride.👍👍
The next rental owner will taken for a ride
the skirting looks much better!! 😅the patio is far better😅😅 genius.
Hi Matt, just remember you are renting it out tenants, who won't look after it like you or i. It's perfect 👌 for renting, clean and tidy is all you need. Before any one says what do I know. 28 years as a property landlord I no quite a bit. Especially the main factor, the money 💷 good look with the property 😊
Your dad and his team! WOW lucky you Matt! The D ‘A’ D team 😂 it’s great with mum getting involved as well it’s a proper family affair 👏🏻 good video and a great job done on that house 😀
Great job! I always put on plastic cladding on the bathroom ceilings because they're hard wearing and don't get affected by damp.
The place looks great Matt. You are doing to the landlord profession what you have done for car sales in proving they are not all to be hated. Good stuff 👍
Thanks! It’s an unpopular profession, a bit like the car business
Good job Matt 👏 ...on a separate note I think that BMW is one of my favourite cars you've done a review on 😍
Mine too!
Nice house. I think it’s perfectly fine for what it is. My favourite room would probably be the lounge. Decent size and looks nice
